Simplified Meaning:
When people start looking deeply into their dreams and understanding their true meanings, any lies they tell themselves will quickly disappear. Imagine a person who always thinks they are not good enough. They have a dream that shows them accomplishing something great. By thinking about this dream and recognizing its meaning, they might realize that their self-doubt isn't true. This honest look at themselves can help them see their real worth and potential. Whenever someone examines their dreams, they're likely to face the truth, making it hard to keep believing in any false ideas they have about themselves. So, if someone wants to stop lying to themselves, they should take their dreams seriously and learn from them.
